Fantasy RPG sequel inspired by console wars to ship in English next year
The European arm of Tecmo KOEI began streaming the American trailer for the Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 game sequel on Wednesday. The first Hyperdimension Neptunia re-imagined the real-life console wars as a fantasy role-playing game; the characters and map regions are loosely inspired by the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 consoles.
The sequel offers a free-roaming-style battle system, streamlined combo system, customizable and uploadable costumes, and other improvements from the original. The video also highlights a unique attack inspired by a certain major developer involved in the game's development.
Compile Heart already shipped the game in Japan in August. NIS America will release the game in North America in the first half of next year, and Tecmo KOEI Europe lists a February 2012 release date.
